Grand Cherokee

  • miles
I own a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 170,000 miles. Recently, the airbag warning light will ding and light-up. The light will then turn off after a few seconds and then may relight again. This problem has been occurring for the past few weeks. I have not yet tried to correct the failure because the problem may not happen for a few days and then start again.
